    Hi James, as a user of Citalopram for several years now my advice to you would be to step up to 30mg (i was on 40 for the initial stage of overcoming my problems and feeling somewhat normal again and when i was ready i dropped to 30- this was what worked well for me and my GP told me that if the dosage wasnt right or was too low then I'd know by not feeling any improvement so from my experience i would say that 20mg is too low for you. I am trying to decrease my dosage at the moment and it is a nightmare and definitely not easy. I don't feel myself atall and part of me feels like taking the easy way out and going back up to 30! I hope this helps!
